First congratulations on getting an interview at Oxford!! I love your Y-School ideas. As you continue to work through the technical aspects I would like to hear more.

1. Will all high school students have access through public schools or only private school?

2. Will it be cost available to all students and how?

3. Where will classes be held, in a school building or online?

4. Is your dream to slash and replace public school curriculum or slowly integrate?

5. You obviously need guides who are modeled after the guides at Alpha. How long do you think it will take to reinvent the current teachers or find new ones?

6. Could Y-School start as a Magnet-type school to prove student success?

7. Could Y-S start as a substitute for a work study program?

8. You integrated into this program as a 5th grader and accumulated 4 years of practice in this program before high school. How would freshmen have time to acclimate to this wonderful learning experience? Could it possibly be integrated as a summer school program in 5th grade through 8th?

9. Could the school operate in all sizes of communities or only in major cities?

Sorry for slamming you with all of these questions. They are just food for thought. I am very excited and hopeful that all kids may get a chance to exit the current failing system and start loving to learn.

Good work Austin!
